One of the most important criteria for distinguishing the divine school from the non-divine is its approach to the belief of monotheism, which means the oneness of God. Monotheism is the most important principle of Islam. One of the groups that introduce itself as a divine and monotheistic religion is Baha'i. This article seeks to answer the question, what is the most important criterion and measurement for the truth of the claims of the divinity of religions, and is Baha'i a divine and monotheistic religion? In response, the belief in the monotheism of Almighty God is one of the most reliable indicators and criteria of a religion's divinity and non-humanity, and it has been shown that the claims of divinity and lordship of the Baha'i leaders do not allow Baha'ism to be accepted as a divine religion. Also, in this study, the responses and justifications of the Baha'is to the claims of their leaders have been discussed and the criticisms that have been made to them have been presented. One of the most common justifications is the use of Islamic mystics' materials, which, in addition to the impossibility of adapting those materials to the claims of divinity, can be found in the documents and works of Baha'i leaders.

Abdu'l-Bahá has introduced the "unity of the human world" as a supreme principle in the Baha'i religion. He introduces Baha’i as a religion that seeks to realize this ideal, but to what extent Baha’i in general and Abdu'l-Bahá in particular is true in this matter while it is a matter of many doubts. In this article, which is organized by descriptive and analytical method, the principle of unity of the human world is judged. The findings of this research show that the divine religions' call for unity has always been around the monotheism and worshiping God but Baha'i has strayed away from this basic principle. There are also contradictions among other Baha'i teachings with this issue. In addition, we can count numerous behavioral examples of Baha'i leaders that are in contradiction with this principle. These examples show that either this principle is basically not appli- cable - as the Baha'i leaders themselves have not been able to comply with its provisions or that it was formulated to achieve specific goals and for others and the Baha'i leaders themselves did not believe in it. In the meantime, Baha'i's leader’s dependence on the humanistic schools of thought in the East and West distort the innovation and correctness of this principle in this Faith. On the other hand, in its behavior and belief, Baha'i not only does not have a solution to realize the "unity of the human world", but also does not move in the direction of achieving it.

Unity of Divine Acts : It is believed that everything that happens in the world, even the actions of other beings, is the action of God. According to the unity of Divine acts, every action from every being is done by the power and will of God. Muslim scholars have given rational and Qur’anic reasons for the unity of Divine acts. Among them are the verses in which God is introduced as the Creator of all things. Due to their school of thought, the commentators are either compulsive (Jabri), delegated (Tafvizi) or Shiite, so they have various opinions in interpreting the verses of unity of Divine acts, which should be examined. The Ash’arites, considering the unity of Divine acts, do not consider man as an independent being. The Mu’tazilites accept the unity of Divine acts but do not consider the voluntary actions of man as the act of God and attribute them only to man himself. Imami Shiites consider both views to be incorrect and believe that the unity of Divine acts is not incompatible with human free will. They consider the voluntary actions of man in line with the action of God and attribute them to both God and man. Monotheism in creation and monotheism in Lordship are the types of unity of Divine acts and reliance on God and monotheism in worship are the effects of unity of Divine acts.

Islamic solidarity, referred to as 'Islamic unity', is one of the substantial tools to be used by the Muslims from the early Islam till modern time as a means against the enemies. The Muslims dignity and establishment of the right religion in the world is fulfilled through unity and solidarity of Muslims and refraining from discord and tensions. To achieve the above goals, we need to create cohesion and unity among Muslims. The right religion cannot become international until the time Muslims are not united. A necessary element of expansion of Islam is Muslim unity. The Quran, as the divine word and the reference calling for unity, introduces the elements of Islamic solidarity as virtue, believing in other's good will, enjoining others towards good deeds and forbidding them from bad deeds, understanding difference between enemy and enmity; it also count the barriers against solidarity as fanaticism and Baqy. Muslims, all believe in following the orders of the Quran, and due to such a common ground, the present paper assesses opportunities and barriers against Islamic solidarity according to the Quran and analyses the outcomes of such solidarity.

The event of Ashura with its substantial concepts such as monotheism, Quran and the Prophet, and because it relies on Islamichumanitarian beliefs such as encouraging people to conduct good deeds and forbidding them from doing bad deeds, improving societies and due to having humanitarian commonalities and principles, such as freedom, dignity and esteem have had an impact on Muslim's unity. Psychologically, martyrdom of Imam Hussein (a.s) and his faithful companions, and captivity of the Ahl-e Byat (a.s) and disrespecting of them are considered as the emotional factors motivating Muslims toward unity and friendliness. Also moral virtues of the ones who created Ashura, e.g. Imam Hussein (a.s) and his characters such as love of God, devotion and generosity, and the traits of his companions and his household, such as loyalty, commitment and sincerity are the major ethical-emotional elements promoting unity among Muslim and even among non-Muslim societies.
